Sourced from some of the Central Coast’s most acclaimed Pinot Noir vineyards, this wine displays alluring aromas of ripe cherry and juicy red raspberry, with hints of briar patch and caramel. On the palate, the lush berry flavors glide across soft, supple tannins with an undercurrent of bright acidity, adding poise and polish to a long, focused finish.

    A great taste of this iconic estate without breaking the bank, this bottling is light in the glass with aromas of dried cherry, scorched earth and chaparral spice. The palate combines cranberry sauce and toasted sagebrush with an ample tannin profile.

    This is savory and flavorful, with scents of plum cake, a hint of smoky bacon and leather. It’s delivered with a juicy freshness, with a lean finish for a plate of carbonara.
